We have long been fed the idea that “beauty” is synonymous with “perfection.” Conditioned to think this way, a look in the mirror can turn into a reflection of inadequacy.

Don’t let yourself think this way, says Deepak Chopra. Instead, learn to embrace the person you see in the mirror to uplift your view of yourself.
